Tim Moore is quiet on Google News right now. Zero stories in the last 24 hours. A handful of Bluesky posts, mostly locals venting about accountability and one constituent cheerfully announcing a Naval Academy nomination. Not exactly a news cycle. But the disclosure filings have been busy, and Moore sits on the House Committee on Financial Services, which is the committee that actually matters when you're reading a congressman's brokerage statements.
The Calendar Is the Thing
On May 18, Moore filed a purchase of AT&T ($T) in the $15,000-$50,000 range. Per the disclosure record on Blind Trust, that trade cleared two days before he voted Yea on both the American Access to Banking Act (H.R. 4544) and the Community Bank Deposit Access Act of 2025 (H.R. 5317) on May 20. Both passed. Both carry a market relevance score of 95 out of 100.
AT&T is a telecommunications company, not a bank. The Venn diagram of "AT&T's core business" and "community banking access" has some overlap in the abstract sense that telecommunications infrastructure touches financial technology, but you'd need a long drive to get there. Moore's own subcommittee assignment includes Digital Assets, Financial Technology, and Artificial Intelligence. That's the lane where telecom and fintech actually meet.
The timing is the thing. May 18 purchase. May 20 floor votes on banking legislation his committee oversees. Three days.
The Full 90-Day Picture
Eight trades in 90 days. Here's what the filings show:
- May 18: Purchased AT&T ($T), $15K-$50K
- May 7: Purchased InterContinental Hotels Group ($IHG), $1K-$15K
- May 7: Purchased Rolls-Royce Holdings ($RYCEY), $1K-$15K
- April 7: Sold Harley-Davidson ($HOG), $50K-$100K
- April 1: Sold Cracker Barrel ($CBRL), $15K-$50K
- March 26: Sold LGI Homes ($LGIH), $100K-$250K
- March 24: Sold Nvidia ($NVDA), $15K-$50K
- March 23: Purchased Cracker Barrel ($CBRL), $15K-$50K
The Cracker Barrel flip is worth a second look. Moore bought CBRL on March 23 and sold it nine days later on April 1. Whether that was a quick exit on a trade that didn't cooperate or a planned short-term hold, the filings don't say. What the filings do say is that both trades were in the $15K-$50K range.
The LGI Homes sale on March 26 was the biggest single disclosed move in the window: $100K-$250K out the door. LGI builds entry-level homes. The homebuilder sector had a rough spring as rate expectations stayed stubborn. Whether Moore was ahead of that or just lucky, the disclosure record doesn't tell us, and we won't pretend it does.
The Nvidia sale on March 24 cleared at $15K-$50K. That one carries an asterisk.
The Intel Trades and the Committee Overlap
Moore's committee assignments include the Digital Assets, Financial Technology, and Artificial Intelligence subcommittee. That's the remit where semiconductor and AI-adjacent companies sit in proximity to actual legislative oversight.
The full disclosure record shows five trades in Intel ($INTC) clustered in a two-week window last August. Three purchases between August 1 and August 11, each in the $15K-$50K range, followed by a $100K-$250K sale on August 13. The 30-day alpha on those purchases ran 17.9%, 23.0%, and 24.6% above the S&P 500. The sale posted a 7.0% excess return.
Four trades in twelve days. All flagged by Blind Trust as carrying a committee overlap under the Technology designation.
The March 24 Nvidia sale also carries that committee overlap flag, though its 30-day alpha rounds to zero. Moore didn't make money on that one relative to the market. He also didn't lose much. A wash.
Members are required to disclose. They are not required to divest, recuse, abstain, or look up from their phones. That's the rule. Yes, really.
The Broader Alpha Record: 58 for 86
Across 86 scored trades in the full record, Moore has posted positive 30-day alpha on 58 of them. That's a 67% hit rate, with a mean 30-day excess return of 5.0% against the S&P 500. That's a solid number. It is also not a story about trading skill, because the sample has real losers.
The worst three: a sale of Hyster-Yale Group ($HY) on October 24, 2025, in the $100K-$250K range, posted negative 23.7% alpha in the 30 days after. A Harley-Davidson sale on November 28, 2025, came in at negative 14.9%. Another HY sale in December ran negative 13.6%. Three of the four worst trades in the record are HY sales, which raises the question of what Moore's thesis was on Hyster-Yale, a forklift manufacturer, and why he kept returning to sell it into a headwind.
The best single trade was a December 2025 purchase of Genprobe ($GNPX) at $1K-$15K that posted 49.4% alpha in 30 days. The second-best was a December 31 Cracker Barrel purchase at 32.1%. The same Cracker Barrel position he sold in a different window at a loss of timing.
58 of 86. The receipts are public. Make of them what you make of them.
Banking Bills, Financial Services, and the Rolls-Royce Purchase
Back to May. The same day Moore picked up a small position in Rolls-Royce Holdings ($RYCEY) and InterContinental Hotels Group ($IHG), May 7, neither of those has any obvious connection to the banking legislation that passed two weeks later. Rolls-Royce makes jet engines. IHG runs hotel brands. Moore's Financial Services committee does not oversee jet engines or hotel brands. Those are just trades.
The May 20 floor votes, though, are straight down his committee's fairway. The American Access to Banking Act and the Community Bank Deposit Access Act both address how deposits move through the banking system, community banking infrastructure, and financial access. The Financial Institutions subcommittee, which Moore also sits on, has direct jurisdiction over that subject matter. He voted Yea on both. Both passed.
He also voted Yea that same day on the Keeping Deposits Local Act (H.R. 3234) and the 9/11 Commemorative Coin Act. The coin act presumably does not implicate his brokerage account.
What the Social Noise Actually Tells You
The Bluesky conversation around Moore right now is local and scattered: a constituent upset about a community issue, another constituent pleased about a Naval Academy nomination. Nothing that connects to the trades. No coverage. No heat.
That's almost the point. The times a member of Congress generates zero national press are the times the filings do the talking uninterrupted. Moore's not in a scandal. He's not on a Sunday show. He's just a freshman congressman on the Financial Services Committee who bought AT&T two days before his committee's banking bills hit the floor, sold Nvidia in the same window his AI/fintech subcommittee was in session, and spent last August doing a twelve-day Intel trade cluster that outperformed the S&P by north of 20%.
None of that is a crime. The filings don't allege anything. Neither do we. The full disclosure record is here if you want to run the numbers yourself.
The calendar keeps showing up. That's all we're saying.
